Have you submitted your entry form for the AGM? If not, please hurry on over to the IPS website and complete your form as quickly as possible. You can submit your form today even if your quilt is not complete. However, that binding will have to be finished next week and the quilt sent in to T. Watson by the end of this month to be photographed and included in the exhibit catalog.
